Throughout the summer, extensive work has been done to make
structural and visual improvements at WHS and WACTC.
1. At WHS
the roof has been completely finished; the entire school has been repainted;
shades have been added; the auditorium has been painted, and new carpet was
added; a new PA and security system has been
installed; and the grounds have been manicured. In addition, TV’s have been
added throughout the building; the eLearning Academy has moved to WHS; and
technology has been added to enhance the students’ educational
experiences.
At
WACTC the roof has been repaired; the driveway has been replaced and the landscaping
has been done. Room improvements have been made to graphics, health, computer
science/game design, and college and career readiness/portfolio. The construction
program also enclosed the outside overhang which created 3000 square feet of
space. Lastly the PTECH computer science program is ready to welcome 50
incoming freshmen. The program is only
one of 5 in the state initiated by the Governor that allows students to earn a
high school diploma, up to an associate’s degree from CCRI, and a first-in-line
job opportunity with our business partner, CVS. We will start this first year
with 50 students who are entering 9th grade and CVS already has 50 mentors
for them.
